SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 743,370, dated November 3, 1903.

Application filed August 5, 1902. SerialNo. 118.521. (N model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS YOUNG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bradford, in the county of McKean and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Heating-Stove, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to stoves and furnaces, and it has special reference to heatingstoves of that class-in which gas, oil, or gaseous vapor is used as a fuel and in which the products of combustion are carried from the upper part of the combustion chamber through fiues back into the lower part of the combustion-chamber in order that circulation may be established, which shall assist in promoting the combustion of products which otherwise might escape into the room or apartment where the device is being used.

My present invention has for its object to provide a stove of this class having an open front and an adjustable foot-rest.

A further object of my invention is to simplify the general construction and arrangement of parts whereby a device shall be produced possessing superior advantages in point of simplicity, durability, and general efficiency.

With these ends in View the invention con- In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a stove constructed in accordance withmy invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a perspective detail View of the adj ustable foot-rest of the device.

Corresponding parts in the several figures are indicated by like numerals of reference.

In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated a stove with a burner adapted for the consumption of liquid fuel, such as oil, or gas.

The body of my improved stove is composed of a casing 1, which may be of any desired size and sh ape. In the present instance it is composed of a rectangular box, the bottom of which, 2, is extended forwardly to form a hearth provided with flanges 3 at the sides and in front. The front side 4 of the casing is cutaway at its lower end to form an open- I the burner.

ing 5 directly above the hearth. The bottom of the stove-casing is provided with a rectangular opening, through which extends a flue or pipe 6, the upper end of which is tightly connected with said bottom and extended upwardly, so as to form a flange 7. Another flange 8, secured to the bottom of the stove, surrounds the flange 7, and the space between the said two flanges forms a channel or receptacle 9, slightly above which is arranged a burner 10, composed of sides 11 and ends 12, which may be bent from a single pipe or which, as in the drawings, may be com-.

posed of independent pipes connected at their corners by elbows 13. The burner-pipes l1 and 12 are perforated, as shown at 14, and the end pipes 12 are connected with the sides of the stove-casing by extensions, one of which, 15, is simply a supporting device, while the other extension, 16,for1ns aninlet-pipethrough which liquid fuel or gas may be supplied to The rear part of the stove-casing is provided with a curved deflector '17, extending from the rear part of the flange S and almost to the top of the stove-casing.

The lower end of the flue 6 is connected with a horizontally-disposed flue 18, arranged under the body of the stove and having at its rear end an upward extension 19, the upper end of which has a forward extension 20, which in turn is connected by a short flue 21 with the top of the stove-casing. The lower end of the flue 19 is provided with an inverted funnel 22, forming an air-inlet whereby the draft is accelerated, the air entering through said funnel assisting in creating a downward suction through the pipe 19, as will be readily understood, the said funnel terminating in a pipe which is bent in a forward direction, as clearly seen in Fig. 1 of the drawings.

' The hearth of the stove is provided at its front corners with uprights 23, having bearings for a rocking plate 24, the lower edge of which is provided with stops 25, adapted to abut against the front sides of the uprights 23. The rocking plate 24 is provided with slots 26 to receive the arms of a U-shaped plate 27, the front or bent end of which supports the foot-rest proper, 29. It will be seen that by properly adjusting the U-shaped support 27 I the foot-rest may be disposed at any desired distance from the hearth-opening, while at any position to which it is adjusted the supporting device is capable of swinging by means of the supporting rocking plate 24,

thus enabling a person sitting in front of the stove to adjust his feet comfortably with relation thereto.

The operation of this invention will be readily understood. When oil or other liquid fuel is to be used, a small quantity of such oil or other liquid fuel may be placed in the channel or receptacle 9 and ignited, thus heating the burner, which is disposed above said channel. When the burner has been sufficiently heated, the oil entering the same will be vaporized, and on issuing through the perforations 14 will be ignited. The smoke 'and products of combustion will ascend through the fiue2l'and be guided through the fines 20, 19, 18, and 6 back into the combustion-chamber, where a nearly-complete combustion will take place, the same being assisted by air admitted through the funnel have it understood that I do not limit myself as regards the details of such construction, but reserve the right to any changes and modifications which may be resorted to Without departing from the spirit of my invention. It will be furthermore understood that the application of the invention is by no means necessarily confined to stoves, either generally or of the particular pattern herein shown and described, it being applicable with equally advantageous results to all kinds of locomotive, stationary, or movable .boilers-in fact, to every kind of furnace or boiler-heater.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States 1. In a stove of the class described, a casing having a top and a bottom plate, an exteriorly-disposed return-flue connecting the top plate with the bottom plate, an extension of said return-flue projecting forwardly below the stove, and a slide at the front end of said extension to regulate the admission of air.

2. In a stove of the class described, a casing, a plate forming the bottom of said casing and extended forwardly to form an open hearth through which air may be admitted into the combustion-chamber, a return-flue connecting the top of the casing with the bottom of the casing, a forward extension of said return-flue, and means for regulating the admission of air into said flue.

3. In a stove of the class described, a casing, a return-flue connecting the top of said casing with the bottom of the same, and an inverted funnel connected with the lower part of said return-flue.

4.
